    Now we need to see a canoe with a screen attached to the bottom of a cut out in the canoe with this stuff sprayed onto the screen. That is the test we need to see...

    Not a fantasy... rather a reference to a product called Flex Seal...

    Reducing old tire rubber to a liquid form by combining it with used motor oil is not new science. What MR. Kovanca Polock has done was to demonstrate part of the process of how rubber is initially made from the raw materials. so that anyone with a little initiative and patience can make their own useable substance out of their old tires and used motor oil, combined with a catalyst instead of starting out with crude oil and the other raw compounds. required to make rubber.
    Reducing the rubber chunks to a granulated size would save a lot of the energy required to reduce it to a liquid putting the components in a pressure vessel with safety venting will speed up the process. all in all, it is useable information for an emergency or dooms day scenario
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Many people no longer know this process, and some viewers don't even believe it can be done.
